this could be good unless it means MLSE board trying to limit our GM's by having to get board approval on all things again... at least peddie gave BC & BB the power to control the franchises. now if we could only get rid of the ontario teachers group we'd be all set!

wonder if Jim Balsillie likes the leafs. LOL

When Burke and Colangelo were hired, the board never limited their spending. In the case of the Leafs, they're pretty much right at the NHL cap. As for the Raptors, the board would approve of spending money if it made sense. Peddie never meddled in the affairs.

Balsillie would never buy the Leafs/Raptors. Those 2 franchises are cash cows. The OTPF would want billions.

past GM's have had to consult the board if they wanted to change light bulbs in the boiler room LOL i know that when BC & BB were hired they never had there spending limited.. that was kinda my point...& if i remember correctly the one who hired them was Peddie.. on the other hand i think he hired JFJ & Babcock too :-(

I met Richard Peddie back in 07, when MLSE just got the FC approved. The guy genuinely seemed like he was commited to the improvement of the sports landscape in Toronto. It would be a shame to see him go, however change is the only constant in the universe.

What if... Blazers had drafted both Drexler, Jordan?
